Jerry Jones: No cuts or layoffs on Cowboys horizon

Some NFL clubs have released employees during the lockout. Some have asked their employees to take a cut in pay until the labor issues are resolved.

The Cowboys have avoided those measures. Owner Jerry Jones has no plans at this time to reduce his staff or require cuts.

“Each team has its own approach,” Jones said. “Each team has its own need for its off-the-field employees that includes their coaching staff.

“We, for all practical purposes, are year-round for 99 percent of the employees that we have. And certainly we have an obligation to our stadium and the events that we’re involved in. When you look at the big picture, our operation and what we’re doing with our employees is more dictated by that than it is by the fact that we’re locked out.”

Jones said this has been, “a pretty normal off-season” in that regard and that the club has even hired employees to replace those who have left.
